Had originally planned on Tacoma.. switched plans and decided on Vancouver.
Glad I did.. if weather was better might have still gone to both.
Beating the snowstorm (that never really came through the F Valley and down to Bellingham where I am) coming back from Vancouver yesterday reminded me of coming back from the Stones last show there in late '06, when the snow did come.. was brutal, but fun!
I went to that show in 06. Driving home to Seattle the next day was brutal. The line at the border was out of control. i did a full 360 on I5 in Bellingham & just kept driving, haha. that was the show that was a nightmare to get into. missed all of Bonnie Raitt. i would've been really mad had it been Van Morrison as originally planned before the show got rescheduled. only Stones show I've seen where Keith got to sing lead on 3 songs. a treat!
Was a great show!
I almost got off the freeway in Bellingham, but cars were spun out all over the exit ramp (I swear I remember seeing a car do a 360 ahead of me )
I was bummed about missing out on Van Morrison as the opener on the cancelled show as well.. was part of why I went to see him in Vegas recently.
Was a great show in '06.. ended up next to the B-stage !!

The news article says they'll announce a new date next week but I'm wondering if it might just get cancelled since geographically he won't be back in the Pacific Northwest for more shows and it's pretty far to haul a stage set for a single show. Perhaps he could add Spokane then hit Western Canada afterwards.

As I mentioned earlier, I wish he would play Fire Lake, my favourite song! Reading online some very pissed off fans regarding the postponed Tacoma show. Fans from Anchorage who flew to town, booked hotels, etc. and others from Fairbanks in a similar situation, very unfortunate.
Michelle Obama cancelled her Friday event at the Tacomadome and Justin Timberlake had to postpone tonight's show, although it said tomorrow nights show will go on.

I see now that tonights Timberlake concert in Tacoma is cancelled and both shows will not be rescheduled. That's probably 40000 tickets or so?

Bob is in excellent shape for this tour. Convalescing from his injury and surgery apparently required him to put in some serious gym time. His voice fails him occasionally but the band makes up for it. Like the Stones he has a deep catalog but,like the Stones, he plays mostly warhorses. The set is more the same than it isn't since 2006. Especially the second half.

Apparently I'm not the only one that's hearing a decline in his vocal abilities on this tour.

Re: Seger’s Voice - he’s taken a very different approach to Mick on this over the years, by continuing to lower the key of his songs. It *mostly* works, but it does mean many intros at his shows which should produce a huge audience reaction fall flat until the crowd realizes “oh yeah, this is that song in a very different key...”.
The piano intro to Old Time Rock and Roll is now so low the pianist runs out of places to put his left hand.

I thought his 2015 tour was his last tour...?

Can you name all those songs that Mick had lowered the key. I could only come up with Paint It Black

The latest final four shows are Boston, Toronto, New York and Philadelphia ending November 1. Some are surprised he is not finishing in Detroit although how many times can he go to that well?
